Vintage Soviet Xmas Cards

While looking for vintage holiday images, I found this site that has a great collection of vintage Christmas cards from Soviet Russia days blending wishes for a happy holiday season with images of space exploration. Propaganda meets tradition. This doesn't have anything to do with UFOs or flying saucers directly, but given the context of the Cold War era and the Space Race combined with the always present flying saucer stories, I thought it was appropriate to share here.

I cannot recommend too strongly the fantastic "Vintage UFO" blog, conducted by Regan Lee. It has the most amazing collection of UFO imagery from 1950s adverts and space-girl-pinups to short video clips of interviews, excerpts from TV shows. An absolute treasure-trove.
